Question:
Recently my
water bills
appear to be
rather high.
None of the
faucets appear
to leak. What
else could
contribute to a
high water bill?
Answer: You
may want to
check to see if
a toilet is
leaking. First,
check the water
level to ensure
that water is
not overflowing
the tank by way
of the overflow
pipe. This is
the pipe in the
middle of the
tank. It has a
small tubing
connected to it.
If water is
running into the
overflow, adjust
the fill valve
to stop the flow
approximately 1
inch below the
top of the
overflow tube or
to the water
level mark
stamped on the
side of the
tank. Second,
put a few drops
of food coloring
into the tank to
test the flush
valve mechanism.
If the water in
the bowl changes
color within 15
minutes, this is
an indication
that water is
leaking into the
toilet bowl and
that the ball or
flapper needs to
be replaced.
Question: How
often should I
have my septic
system
inspected?
Answer: Septic
systems should
be inspected and
pumped a minimum
of once every
three to four
years. You may
not be
experiencing any
problem now, but
a full septic
tank may allow
unwanted solids
to flow into the
drain field,
which is the
part of the
system that
consists of a
distribution
box, with a
series of
connected pipes.
Each pipe allows
water to flow
into a bed of
stone that
drains into the
ground. If paper
and other solids
flow into the
drain field it
becomes blocked
and ineffective.
A blocked drain
field is costly
to repair or
replace.
Question: The
temperature of
my hot water
seems to be
higher than what
I think I need.
How can I
conserve energy,
yet also be sure
that there is an
adequate amount
of hot water?
Answer: Most
people are
comfortable with
their hot water
set at 120
degrees
Fahrenheit,
which is also
the new standard
that
manufacturers
use when
pre-setting it
at the factory.
If you have an
older model, set
the thermostat
at medium. On a
gas model, there
is a dial on the
front of the gas
valve. On
electric models,
the thermostats
(there may be
two) are
concealed behind
the two panels
on the side of
the tank. NOTE:
Turn off the
electricity
before removing
the panels.
There are
exposed wires
behind the
panels
containing HIGH
VOLTAGE.
